Objective: To study curricular outcomes for the purpose of holistic improvement of the curriculum.
Methods: A single-institution retrospective cohort study evaluated 3 cohorts of Doctor of Pharmacy students entering the program through performance in Advanced Pharmacy Practice Experience (APPE) rotations. Assessment scores and pass/fail outcomes were collected from the 3 examinations to use as predictors, and the numbers of "needs improvement" (NI) and "unsatisfactory" (U) ratings from preceptors during the APPE rotations served as outcome measures.
Purpose: Since the introduction of the revised Medical College Admission Test (MCAT(R)) in 1991, the Association of American Medical Colleges has been investigating the extent to which MCAT scores supplement the power of undergraduate grade point averages (uGPAs) to predict success in medical school. This report is a comprehensive summary of the relationships between MCAT scores and (1) medical school grades, (2) United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) Step scores, and (3) academic distinction or difficulty.
Method: This study followed two cohorts from entrance to medical school through residency.
Purpose: Medical College Admission Test (MCAT) examinees with disabilities who receive accommodations receive flagged scores indicating nonstandard administration. This report compares MCAT examinees who received accommodations and their performances with standard examinees.
Method: Aggregate history records of all 1994-2000 MCAT examinees were identified as flagged (2,401) or standard (297,880), then further sorted by race/ethnicity (broadly identified as underrepresented minority and non-URM, at the time of testing) and gender.
